Victoria - a port-a-cath is a "button" like device which is attached to a main artery near the shoulder area. The port is about the size of a quarter and a life saver. The nurses are able to draw blood for tests and, of course, administer chemo treatments with ease! It's a tiny pinch to attach the IV needle. As someone else previously stated, it is a one day surgery and in the scheme of things, no big deal. Good luck in your decisions and your battle. Maryann
